I have a lump in my lower leg or upper ankle, only when i flex. but when relaxed, it disappears. is it cancerous?

Unlikely: What you described suggests muscle bulging through fascia and it is unlikely to be cancer. If the "lump" doubles is size, see a doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
